Chapter 67 Luo Longji asked Zhou Enlai to thoroughly investigate the "Zhang Luo Alliance"

Luo Longji's valuable character is that when the whole country was exposing and criticizing the "Zhangluo Alliance", he refuted it truthfully and never admitted it.His tenacity is admirable. Luo Longji once said very firmly: I have set myself such a goal: Regarding my current incident, if I can’t figure it out today, it will always be clear in the future; if I can’t figure it out in life, it will always be clear after death.I want to write down my incident this time honestly, those are my mistakes, those are injustice, so that others can really know Tell the truth and make a fair judgment. ①

Today, it is finally time to "make a fair judgment" on those matters that Luo Longji "couldn't figure out before his death". In November 1986, the author made a special trip to Zhengzhou to interview Luo Longji's only relative, his brother Luo Zhaolin. He gave me a large number of Luo Longji's unpublished manuscripts.It can be clearly seen from these manuscripts that Luo Longji very firmly denies the so-called "Zhang Luo Alliance".Although Mao Zedong stated in "Wen Wei Po's Bourgeois Direction Should Be Criticized" that "throughout the spring, black clouds suddenly turned over in the sky in China, the source of which was the Zhang-Luo Alliance", although even Zhang Bojun was forced to recognize the "Zhang-Luo Alliance", But Luo Longji denied it factually.

The following is an excerpt from Luo Longji's posthumous manuscript, from which we can see Luo Longji's firm attitude at that time, and it also reflects how wronged the so-called "Zhangluo Alliance" was! Luo Longji said in a long letter to Zhao Wenbi: Since the Anti-Rightist Struggle was launched, I don't know who came up with the term "Zhangluo League".Zhang Bojun immediately seized the opportunity, harassed his partners, and created all kinds of rumors, admitting that the "Zhangluo Alliance" was real, and some people in the alliance might think that it had this name, then the NLD was guilty, and the "alliance" could get rid of its mistakes relation.You, my so-called "confidant", just made this sentence, "I am very close to Bo Jun" to prove that there is indeed a "Zhang Luo Alliance".Should this be?Even if there is such a sentence, is it enough to prove that it is a "Zhang Luo Alliance" just by saying "I am very close to Bo Jun"?Do you know that the so-called "Zhang Luo Alliance" is not like you said that I am personally very close to Zhang Bojun, but refers to Zhang Bojun colluding with "the original Luo Longji anti-communist conspiracy to form the Zhang Luo Alliance" (see Shi Liang's Democratic League Rectification Conference Report), then, are you a member of the "original anti-communist cabal"?Has Zhang Bojun "colluded" with you?You should explain it! ①

Luo Longji has a letter to "Old Heng". "Old Heng", that is, Shen Junru, chairman of the China Democratic League.The date of this letter is not marked, but from the content of the letter, it can be roughly judged that it was written in the middle and late September of 1957. In the letter, Luo Longji raised a serious protest against the term "Zhangluo Alliance".Luo Longji asked Premier Zhou Enlai and the United Front Work Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China to thoroughly investigate the "Zhangluo Alliance". Luo Longji wrote:

Mr. Heng: In the article "Current Serious Political Tasks of the China Democratic League" published on September 11, my father, as the chairman of the China Democratic League, officially adopted the name "Zhangluo League", and said that "'Zhangluo League' has in fact become a The national anti-communist, anti-people, anti-socialist high command", this is an extremely serious accusation to me. What is the origin and factual basis of the term "Zhangluo Alliance", I still don't know to this day.After three months of introspection, my conscience told me that the crime of "Zhang Luo Alliance" was absolutely unfounded to me, and it was a great injustice.The truth of this unjust case, I can't understand it today, but I will understand it in the future. I couldn't understand it when I was alive, but I will understand it after death.Now I would like to explain the following points to my husband:

First, in the past two years, my work in the Democratic League has gone through open and proper procedures. I have absolutely no collusion with Zhang Bojun, let alone formed any alliance. In the past two years, Zhang Bojun and I have absolutely never had a single meeting, let alone discussed NLD affairs or other political issues.I have asked Premier Zhou and the United Front Work Department to thoroughly investigate the "Zhangluo Alliance".I declare it like this: "If it is found out that Zhang Bojun and I have indeed had any secret collusion, secret contact, secret conspiracy, or that the two have jointly and secretly issued any anti-Party and anti-socialist messages to any local organization of the Democratic League or any member of the National Democratic League in the past two years. Program or instructions, I am willing to be severely punished by the state."

In the past two years, my work in the Democratic League has been a five-person consultation with the four vice-chairmen and the secretary-general. Important events must be discussed and approved by the Standing Committee before implementation.There is absolutely nothing that Zhang Bojun and I discussed in secret and carried out without concealment from the other vice-chairmen. There is absolutely nothing that Zhang Bojun and I insisted on and was implemented when the other vice-chairmen and the NLD Standing Committee opposed it. .The two vice-chairmen, Shi Liang and Gao Chongmin, and Secretary-General Hu Yuzhi are all members of the five-member group, and they are all clear about these events.My father-in-law is generally aware of the work of the Democratic League in the past two years.I have absolutely no personal collusion with Zhang Bojun, let alone formed any alliance. ①

Once, in the meeting notice of the China Democratic League, only the conveners "Zhang Bojun and Luo Longji" were used as important "evidence" of the "Zhang Luo Alliance".In this regard, Luo Longji explained the truth of the facts in this way: Take the history of the four committees including the scientific system established in May as an example. On my side, it was definitely not a conspiracy with Zhang Bojun.In mid-May, Zhang Bojun called me to invite the heads of the three committees of the Culture Committee, the Propaganda Committee, and the Education Committee to discuss the work of "letting a hundred flowers bloom and a hundred schools of thought contend".At that time, I thought that Zhang was in charge of culture and education, and I was in charge of publicity and study. Since the matter was within the scope of my responsibility with Zhang, I agreed on the phone.The next day I suggested to Zhang Bojun and Shi Liang in the second conference room of the CPPCC auditorium that the symposium should still be held in the name of the four vice-chairmen, and Zhang Shi agreed.It was only after returning home that I learned that Zhang Bojun had issued a notice to call in the name of Zhang Luo, and that the list of people to be called had also been arranged by Zhang Yi.I can't help it.However, when the meeting was held, I still asked the working comrades to invite Shi and Gao to attend the meeting.It's a fact that they didn't show up because of things.The establishment of the four committees and the conveners of each committee were the results of the symposium, not the premeditation of Zhang Bojun and me.The symposium only discussed the method of the committee's work, absolutely nothing about the content and purpose of the work.Later, Shi and Gao were both the conveners of the two committees of "Long-term Coexistence" and "Possession and Power".At the end of May, I was busy preparing to go abroad, so I wrote to ask Vice Chairman Gao Chongmin to chair the "Possession and Power" committee.I have since had no involvement with the work of the four committees.Zeng Zhaolun and Qian Weichang used the Scientific System Committee to formulate anti-Party and anti-socialist plans. I only learned about it after listening to President Guo Moruo's speech after returning to China.All these facts prove that the establishment and results of the four committees, on my side, definitely did not have any collusion with Zhang Bojun, or planned any conspiracy.

To sum up, in the past two years, I have worked in the Democratic League. I have not colluded with Zhang Bojun and excluded other vice-chairmen and secretary-generals, nor have I done anything because of Zhang Luo The collusion between the two forced the Democratic League to do it.In the past two years, Zhang Bojun and I have absolutely no collusion, therefore, absolutely no alliance has been formed. ① Under high pressure, Zhang Bojun admitted the "Zhang Luo Alliance" against his will, and Luo Longji reprimanded him as a "vain partner".In the letter, Luo Longji refuted it from five aspects:

Zhang Bojun admitted the "Zhang Luo Alliance" in his confession. This is Zhang Bojun's frame for slandering me. This is his conspiracy to abuse his partners and share all his serious crimes inside and outside the alliance.I propose the following specific facts to substantiate his treacherous behavior: A, while I was abroad, Zhang Bojun spread a rumor to Shi Liang that he had read Chu Anping's "Party World" speech.On June 15th, Chu Anping questioned Zhang Bojun why he said such a thing out of thin air in Guangming Daily's Social Times, and Zhang Bojun admitted: "I personally think it is wrong" (see the emergency meeting minutes of the Guangming Daily Social Affairs Committee).On June 20th in Kunming, I questioned Zhang Bojun why he was making rumors out of thin air. Zhang replied that he never told Shi Liang that I had seen it, and Shi Liang should be responsible for this matter.The purpose of Zhang Bojun's spreading rumors is to frame me as Chu Anping's mastermind and supporter, so that I can be blamed.This proves Zhang Bojun's cunning and false accusations.

B, Zhang Bojun saw that the previous plan had failed, so he said in the Peasants and Workers Democratic Party in early July: "Luo said, if you come to a meeting, I will come, as long as you want to do it, I will do it."He also said in his speech at the National People's Congress: "Luo Longji kept telling me that wherever you go, I will follow you."Zhang Bojun vainly tried to prove that Zhang Luo had collusion and alliance.In fact, this is a completely fabricated lie.I have never paid so much attention to Zhang Bojun in my life, and I will never say such shameless words of subservience and blind obedience to him.In fact, Zhang Bojun made excuses for many meetings of the Democratic League, so I not only convened the meeting, but also presided over it.How can I say that I will come when he comes to the meeting.I often oppose and criticize Zhang Bojun's arrogant speeches and absurd claims.How dare I say to him: "Where you go, I will follow there".This is just a rumor that Zhang Bojun deceived himself and could not deceive others.Zhang Bojun's lies are enough to prove that I have no collusion or alliance with him. C. Zhang Bojun said: "From an ideological alliance to a work unity, that is, a work alliance. Then it becomes a political alliance." This is even Zhang Bojun's false words.Zhang Bojun is arbitrary and sticks to his own views on the work of the NLD, and all the vice-chairmen know this.For example, in 1956, Shi Liang, Gao Chongmin, Guo Zeshen and others all advocated dividing the Culture and Education Committee into education, science, and literature and art committees. Zhang Bojun strongly opposed it when the vice-chairmen were discussing. As a result, the majority of the three vice-chairmen obeyed the minority. .Another example is the NPC Standing Committee’s by-election for the NLD vacancies. Zhang Bojun acted arbitrarily without consultation and proposed to the United Front Work Department that Hua Luogeng and I opposed Gao Chongmin. He threatened me with resignation and asked me to make concessions. method.Another example is the issue of ending the inspection work of the NLD. I repeatedly advised him to carry it out as soon as possible, and advised him to have individual talks with Zhang Yunchuan, Wang Shi, Fan Puzhai and others. Pub Zhai, and thinks that this is my reversing chapter in uniting sects, which is another way for him to achieve unity in work.These things just show that Zhang Bojun and I are not on the same page not only in work, but also emotionally.However, for the smooth work of the Democratic League, I, Tong Shi and Gao, often let him go.Zhang Bojun made a rumor in his confession, saying: "Last year when the NLD inspected the work, Luo Longji disposed of it when I was abroad. It was because he was covering me." In fact, the inspection work has not been resolved until today, so how could I have shielded him.In order to achieve the goal of doing whatever he wants in the alliance, Zhang Bojun often threatened to say that something was instructed by the Prime Minister, and Minister Li Weihan agreed to something, and falsely conveyed the intention to deceive several vice-chairmen to work together. This is a tactic he often plays. Can it still be said that I have entered a political alliance with him from a working agreement? Ding, Zhang Bojun himself admitted that "he has ambitions for intellectuals, and he has never talked with Luo Longji." (See "People's Daily" July 4th) Since he didn't talk to me, how can it be said that an alliance has been formed?Over the past year, he has often invited a large number of big intellectuals to dinner and chat to publicize his political views.He said: "I want to influence intellectuals through Luo Longji." "I will invite Luo's friends Ma Zhemin, Peng Dixian, Shen Zhiyuan, and Pan Dakui to have dinner and chat." This group of people absolutely did not have to pass me. In fact, not only did he not pass me, but he never asked me to participate in his conversations.He invited some senior intellectuals to dinner and chat, and he often criticized me in the conversation behind his back, doing the work of sowing dissension.Is this where he and I went from work to political union? E, since Zhang Bojun became the vice chairman of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, he has been complacent, proud and self-satisfied, making unscrupulous remarks and making absurd and arrogant claims.This is well known in the alliance, and it is also something that my father hates.He arrogantly advocated that the democratic parties should develop millions of people. I have criticized Gao Chongmin and many people inside and outside the league.He arrogantly advocated the "two-chamber system" and wanted to turn the CPPCC into a Senate. I criticized Ye Duyi, the CPPCC Foreign Guests Reception Committee, and the head of the International Issues Group. Foreign guests put forward such erroneous opinions.I have so many objections to Zhang Bojun's political views, how can we become a political alliance. Mr. Heng, Zhang Bojun is a man, I am well aware of him... and I have some absurd political ideas about him, such as "millions of people in the democratic parties", such as "bicameral system", such as "political design institute", such as "capitalist country I have absolute freedom" and so on. I didn't agree with him, so why did I collude with him to form a political alliance.If two people have no common basic political views, how can we talk about political alliance?I have said a lot about this issue in "Supplementary Materials for My Preliminary Account", so I won't repeat it any more. ① Luo Longji solemnly declares: I resolutely do not admit that there is a so-called "Zhang Luo Alliance". I am speaking based on the facts and my conscience. I am definitely not trying to shirk responsibility and wash away my sins... I have known Zhang Bojun for nearly twenty years.There are too many differences between me and him in terms of character, style of work, especially in political views and activities. It is impossible for us to form a so-called alliance. In the past two years, we have absolutely not colluded to form an alliance.In the past two years, because I have accepted the advice of many responsible comrades in the alliance, I have cooperated with Zhang Bojun in alliance affairs, but many responsible comrades in my alliance generally cooperate.The purpose of the cooperation is to strengthen the unity of the League and do a good job in the work of the League, not to carry out an anti-Party and anti-socialist conspiracy... If my father affirms the existence of the "Zhangluo Alliance" today, and refers to the so-called "alliance" as the "highest command against the party, the people, and socialism in the country", I will be suspected and innocent. According to the test report, since the crime is too heavy, the unjust case must be caused improperly.My father is a loyal elder, loves others with virtue, and is willing to find out the facts, investigate the truth, distinguish right from wrong, and uphold justice. This is my earnest hope.I have a sincere heart, and I dare not not express what I see because of suspicion, and what I say from the bottom of my heart, thank you for your understanding① Luo Longji not only does not recognize the so-called "Zhangluo alliance", but also denies the existence of the so-called "Luo Longji clique".Luo Longji wrote: I have had absolutely no denominational groups for three years.In the past three years, I have not sent anyone to any place to do any political activities, and I have not written or entrusted anyone to bring a message to anyone inside or outside the League to instruct the League or other political activities.These are hard facts.Therefore, not only did I not have any collusion with Zhang Bojun, nor did I have any collusion with anyone inside or outside the alliance. ① Luo Longji also sent a letter to Guo Moruo, President of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, solemnly pointing out: I read Mr. Wang's speech at the symposium of the Chinese Academy of Sciences on September 18, and I admire it very much.However, in the conversation, Mr. repeatedly brought up the term "Zhang Luo Alliance", and believed that the anti-socialist scientific program proposed by Zeng Zhaolun, Qian Weichang and others, and the recovery plan proposed by Fei Xiaotong, Wu Jingchao, Chen Da, Li Jinghan and others The absurd claims of the bourgeois social sciences as part of the entire political conspiracy of the "Zhangluo League" are extremely serious accusations and condemnations which dare not remain unanswered... With regard to the issue of the "Zhangluo Alliance", it is currently believed to be true without any doubt.I can swear to God, until today I do not know the source, factual basis and true meaning of this so-called "alliance".Zhang Bojun and I have absolutely never discussed alliance affairs or other political issues alone in the past two years... Facts are unexpected. Because the name "Zhangluo Alliance" was first mentioned in the newspaper propaganda, the rectification symposium and ordinary people in the society thought that there must be many anti-Party and anti-socialist common plots in it, and we must get to the bottom of it. Things just got longer and longer, and the more I procrastinated, the harder it was.I have revealed all the ugly history of the past thirty years, and even said that I am willing to fully explain my private life, but I have never been able to explain the truth about the inside story and conspiracy of the "Zhangluo Alliance".If something really happened, it would be easy and pleasant to explain it clearly.If nothing happened, how could I fabricate it. ① Luo Longji said bitterly: I asked my conscience, I absolutely did not have any collusion with Zhang Bojun, let alone any common conspiracy against the Party and socialism.I don't know what Zhang Bojun's personal ambitions are.If a mere person, with such a powerful party today and such a strong unity of the people of the whole country, still conspires to overthrow the party and overthrow socialism, how can I go so far as to be so crazy. ② Unfortunately, Luo Longji's words were overwhelmed by the "angry waves" who denounced the "Zhang Luo Alliance" at the time.It is not until today that Luo Longji's posthumous manuscripts radiate brilliant light.
